Former pro wrestler Ted DiBiase Jr. acquitted in Mississippi welfare scandal

Mississippi is the poorest state in the country. They aren't well run and clearly not good with finances and some people take advantage of that.

This is the same case

Well there's no punishment for it so these horrible people keep doing it 

Would be funny if most people in the case went to the same country club

I didn't read the article, I assumed this was the same scandal. You're telling me it's different scandal?

It’s the same case

Yup, like Brett Favre

All of them? Every single one? 

So many employers do this, it’s the most common form of theft.

Do you know what "acquitted" means?

A jury in Mississippi isn’t siding against a pro wrestler.

Except he was through his Heart of David Ministry to the tune of 2 million dollars...

Super specifically I think these days a lot of wrestling fans know him primarily as being the guy who said “That ref was tryina f*** on me!!” In that infamous story Cody told 😂

Ted Dibiase Sr. Took money he shouldn’t have. There’s a reason he shuttered his non for profit. Meanwhile other actual good non for profits didn’t receive funding. 

Ted Sr. was not criminally charged, but he is one of the people that the state is suing civilly to recover defrauded money from. Brett Favre is another.

Now they are having a match in the main event of Wrestlemania so Ted can come out before Mania and side with Orton that would be best for business 

I always wondered what happened to him.

They aren’t taking advantage of poor while people. They are all on the same side of f****** over people of color.

It was his son, Ted Dibase, Jr who was tried and acquitted.

Why did we let them back in again?

His son. They are both scummy though.

You can't stop talking about identity politics, can you? [Ted DiBiase Jr found not guilty of welfare fraud in Mississippi](https://ravenswire.usatoday.com/story/news/2026/03/20/ted-dibiase-jr-former-wwe-wrestler-found-not-guilty-in-mississippi-welfare-fraud-trial/89216425007/) Here you go, racist.

Seems like you didn’t read the article. Just because he was acquitted doesn’t mean a grift didn’t happen. Several others plead guilty, including BiBiase’s brother.

Multiple people in his companies have pleaded guilty to charges related to the scheme. Including his brother. So, what makes you think he did nothing?

Let’s be real. There was $2m in funds that were in question in this case, over $70m in total from the entire lawsuit. DiBiase Jr. is so far the only one to face trial, so everyone else either plead guilty or weren’t charged altogether. When you’re the only one standing trial and others already mentioned have admitted guilt, it’s not a good look from the jump. Add on top of that the public fraud in the poorest state component along with the Christian charity connection and it’s not that hard to see why this man lost in the court of public opinion.

The crime is pretty abhorrent and most people assume where there's smoke, there's fire. Also, when the famous and/or wealthy are acquitted, people tend to assume those things, instead of actual innocence, were the reasons for an acquittal (regardless of whether or not that's accurate).
